The Los Angeles Lakers will exercise caution with D'Angelo Russell's left foot soreness for the remainder of the regular season.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won four consecutive games and seven out of their last eight, after defeating the Utah Jazz in overtime on Tuesday. With the playoffs approaching, the team seems to be gaining momentum and could achieve their goal of finishing in the top six of the Western Conference standings. Despite nagging injuries, both LeBron James and Anthony Davis are currently healthy and playing. However, D’Angelo Russell was forced to leave Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets due to left foot soreness and did not play in the Lakers’ win against the Jazz on Tuesday. Although the team is not overly concerned, they will be cautious with Russell’s availability, as he has been dealing with foot soreness for over a year. The Lakers are set to face their in-house rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, in a crucial game on Wednesday. Russell is expected to appear on the team’s injury report, but he will likely be available to play. The Lakers’ coaching staff will re-evaluate Russell, James, and Davis on Wednesday morning to determine their availability for the game against the Clippers.
